Thank you! Yes, my diagram is not good - your " ... it would go from the receiver to the extractor, then on to the TV" is what I'm thinking plus extractor's optical out to my cochlear implant audio device. I will order tonight & try. I put a reminder in my calendar so in several weeks I'll be...

Circling back as I found this and was wondering if this will work? Put above audio extractor in the following manner: Source -------> 510BT AVR -------> audio extractor ----HDMI---> SmartTV -------> 5.1 SPEAKERS...

Wow, thank you! I would have never imagined it was input intead of output :oops: No wonder when I plugged my optical into that jack, my device to send sound directly to my cochlear implant didn't work (I thought it was source specific when that happened). If I can pick your brains a little...

Greetings! Is there an AVR that can simultaneously output to optical regardless of what source is used? Some AVRs I've looked say "assignable" but it seems that I need to configure to "a" source instead of the AVR always simultaneously outputting to optical. I also didn't know if I'm...

Thank you! I'm goiung to do that this July 4th slowdown and report back that now I can HEAR :rock:

Well, probably I'm the first & should win an award :P Half my face is paralyzed and I always sit at an angle with the ear I don't hear out of towards the speakers (when the family watches a movie) so I "thought" I just miss my SR7000 too much :lol: Since I bi-wired the speakers as soon as I...

This is a little EMBARRASSING but I need to revisit this thread as I may have been, ummm, straight up dumb about this ... maybe :oops: So I did get the AVR-S510BT couple years ago but always felt that the sound was sub-par comparative to the SR7000 it replaced. The B&W 603 S2 (left, right)...

In my case Marantz was my first AVR; this forum was my teacher to get into this hobby. I could only afford the B&W left & right speakers and a Marantz CD player initially; enjoyed that for couple years. BTW, I appreciated the 2 channel experience & the source direct mode of the Marantz (again...

Thanks Scott! Yeps, I was apprehensive and probably buyers remorse for no good reason after such a good run with SR-7000 driving the 603 for over a decade. The S510BT just got delivered & I can't even open the box until later tonight - frustrated. Without really testing the efficacy of what...

NVM. Looks like it is rated ate 140w per channel - duh - my mistake! :oops:

I just saw AVR-S510BT come down to $168 new @AMZN again (it was at that price point couple days ago but went back up to $230 & was kicking my self) so I picked one up before asking these question: The SR-7000 is rated at 100w per channel and the speakers are rated at 135w. The S510BT is rated at...

Thanks Wayne. Not audiophile by any means but when I started with hometheater in 2000 (and learning about this new hobby), I learned that "match" was important between AVR & speakers they drove. I think, although I may be wrong/forgotten as I got used to SR-7000 driving the B&W speakers all...

Greetings! Love my SR-7000 driving B&W 603 S2 (left, right), LCR6 S2 (center), and 602 S2 (rears) and SVS sub (5.1). But I need to replace it; thinking of moving SR-7000 to office for sound-only. Reason for replacing SR-7000 that is in the family room is to get HDMI switching for easy of...

Thank you! So as long as the base is there for each, whether traditional 2.4Ghz or bluetooth, and the digital out split to each, the headphones should work okay. I just checked Amazon this afternoon and looks like base with digital input is at another price tier compared to analog so looks...

Greetings! I want to connect a wireless headphone, maybe two, to a Samsung TV's digital out. Looks like even when the digital out is connected it pipes sound simultaneously through the TV speakers so that will be great. However I'm a little confused as to: 1) should I go traditional...
